PremonitionsWhen I was 14 I had a really scary dream about being run over. A few days later, as I gently bounced off the front of a volvo who seemed incapable of indicating, I found this vaguely reassuring.
Last week 'emadex' managed to respond to this weeks question a good five days ahead of time, so it would only be courteous to ask: What spooky premonitions have you had?

throttle cableOn the way back from a drive with some mates I was thinking to myself how amusing it would be if the throttle cable snapped and there was no power.
Next roundabout my mate in a mini metro (E reg I seem to remember), as he pulls away the car jerks and he drifts to a stop. So we stop and find out his throttle cable snapped. wierd!
To make it back home (20ish miles) he swapped the choke cable (old car) over onto the accelerator and drove home by pulling the choke to accelerate and pushing it in to slow down. I think he got better performance then than with the pedal.
